Sophronia the Lover

Sophronia the Lover (died 431 BC) was a Thessalian Greek mercenary during the Peloponnesian War.

Biography
Sophronia made a name for herself after allegedly killing every bear on the hills outside Trachis in Thessaly, and she made a fortune selling all her pelts at high price; few dared haggle. In 431 BC, she was hired to track down and kill the mercenary Kassandra, following her to Euboea, where Kassandra was planning to assassinate the Cult of Kosmos member, the "Centaur of Euboea". Kassandra played a game of hit-and-run with Sophronia, occasionally ambushing and injuring her, or shooting her with arrows. She eventually lured Sophronia into an abandoned mine but fled as Sophronia searched for her; Kassandra then ambushed Sophronia as she left the mine, killing her.
